Can't delete broken reverse lookup zone entry.

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Running SBS 2003 Standard.

I've got a reverse lookup entry (200.140.62.in-addr.arpa) that won't
delete. It appeared out of nowhere and doesn't relate to anything on
the network or anything else I know about.

I tried to delete it from dnsmgmt but it come up with the error:

"The zone cannot be deleted. The active directory service is not
available."

I also tried to delete it from 'Active Directory Users and Computers'
but ended up with a

"The object 200.140.62.in-addr.arpa (or some objects it contains)
cannot be deleted because: The directory service encountered and
unknown failure."

error message.

ipconfig /all doesn't mention the address

I'm also getting hundreds of DNS 4004 and 4015 error messages in the
log relating to this address.
